[Q] 700 MHz band

So, I just read that the DoJ signed off on the deal for T-Mobile to buy Verizon's 700 MHz band. I looked up the Nexus 5 specs and it seems like it doesn't actually support that frequency. It would make sense since the N5 doesn't work on Verizon's network. Does this mean though that whenever T-Mobile gets to implementing the bands, N5 owners won't be able to use them?
EDIT: I'm actually not sure anymore, I just checked gsmarena and they say that it does have the 700 band. Anyone know?

Wont support it as of today there are no phones on T-Mobile that support that 700Mhz Band
CDMA:
800, 1900 MHz
GSM:
850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS:
800, 850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz
FDD LTE:
800 (band 20), 850 (band 5), 900 (band 8), 1800 (band 3), 2100 (band 1), 2600 (band 7) MHz

Oh really? Damn, that's disappointing. I found this on gsmarena so I thought there might be a chance "LTE 700 / 800 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - North America version"

Nexus 5 supports LTE band 17, but not band 13. So it depends which block of 700 MHz is used. Thats why people on the verizon side of the Nexus a very few of them can pickup the signals because in that particular market they use band 17 where as major verizon markets use band 13**
** Band numbers may not be correct but you get the point

read this about the differences b/w 700mhz bands 12 (t-mobile bought) and 17 (which nexus 5 supports), 12 and 17 overlap, and the problems and screwups along the way
http://www.extremetech.com/electron...le-of-regulatory-and-interoperability-failure
that saying, there is no way to convert a phone that supports band 17 to 12 after manufacture (you can do it before manufacturing by modifying a few filters and other stuff since the two bands overlap)

Xiaomi MI 4, warranty and LTE questions for the UK...

Hi,
Not sure whether this was the right place to post but anyway, I saw the xiaomi mi 4 announcement and am very interested. I have a few questions though:
Regarding a warranty, does xiaomi provide a standard year warranty if something goes wrong 6 months down the line or will the person I buy it off, (probably an eBay seller once it starts getting sold) provide one?
Regarding LTE, I saw initially it would not support UK LTE, when I saw this:
Xiaomi has confirmed that the Mi4 will support 4G but only TD-LTE so far, no word on whether or when it will support the more common FDD-LTE standard.
Here's where I got the info:
http://www.stuff.tv/android/xiaomi-mi4-official-touted-its-fastest-android-phone-yet/news
Here's more info on TD LTE and FDD LTE:
http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/why-your-next-4g-phone-should-have-fdd-lte-and-tdd-lte
But I also saw one other link saying both so I was hoping someone can confirm this for me.

Yeah but at the moment it says nothing. But the LTE version is coming out in September so we will have to wait and see I guess.

No. At the moment, the only 4G mi4 that has been released is for China, TDD LTE.
Us people in Europe will have to wait for the FDD LTE mi4 version which hasn't got an actual release date so far but 3G should still work fine :good:

No it's not:
Mi 4 is TDD LTE for China:
4G Network TD-LTE 2570-2620 / 1880-1920 / 2300-2400 - 4G model
The first Mi4 released will be for WCDMA only, we are expecting other versions later this year which include LTE band support. To be clear, TDD-LTE bands will NOT work outside of China mainland, if you require European LTE band support you will need to purchase the FDD-LTE version (date not yet announced). We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

FDD LTE is not yet released and if you buy a MI 4 right now, 4G will not work in USA/Europe and other places
Some popular FDD Bands are:
LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600
Therefore the Mi 4 won't work unless a FDD LTE version is released

Yes, Correct. The current 4G M4 is TDD-LTE only.
All the Mi4 on sale now is not support any FDD-LTE. And the 4G version with FDD band will not on sale before Nov 2014. And you can not get it until next year, 2015. This is Xiaomi, Keep us waiting.
What i said is about future M4 with FDD-LTE if you like to buy....

When the Mi4 FDD-LTE Version is released, does it mean that the FDD-LTE-Module will support all LTE Bands ( 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 ) ?

In the US you won't get 3G or 4G on the Honor 6 at all. You'll need Honor to release a model for the US market. China uses similar frequencies and bands to Europe with the exception of 4G which uses a different system (TDD).

[Q] 3G/4G switch to SIM 2

I want to switch 3G/4G to SIM 2 from phone menu, like Huawei Honor 6 Plus. There is no application to add this setting? Is there a ROM version that includes this option? I need it very much.

Can't be done. Hardware wise, only SIM 1 supports 3G/4G. 2nd SIM is a 2G only slow.

Hi there! Do you have Source for these specs?? All literature I can find shows the following for both these models:

SIM 2: GSM 2G only
If you're right, I will be VERY happy!

I want to Believe!
I feel like Fox Mulder, 'cuz I want to believe!
But sadly, I cannot see these specs for this phone as you mention at the Huawei or HTC sites... (only one specific online mobile phone vendor shows the Honor 6 specs as you do, and their accuracy in other models is questionable).
Everywhere I look tells me these phones have the SIM2 slot at GSM/2G only.

Thanks - looks to be correct, much appreciated.
So, aside from the Xperia Z3 dual, this is the only other phone that I can find that offers this functionality. But the limitation that only ONE of the SIMs can be on WCDMA at one point in time, while the other is forced to GSM, also seems to exist on both phones. I can attest to the Z3 personally.
I don't have two GSM SIMs to see if both SIMs can simultaneously be on GSM - but I would love to know if it is indeed the case!

Seems to be some confusion about people and not getting lte and other frequency channels
Please note that ure carrier has to support said listed lte only bands to get lte.
just because ure carrier supports 850 on the gsm side and not on the lte side.
this means u still will not get lte.
I have noticed that some overseas from U.S. do not support lte in general. again because carrier says 2g 850 and u see phone supports 850 on 2g and lte does not mean u get lte .
Kinda hoping this clarifies a little more and to find ure carriers freq chart google it (your carrier)(your country)frequency bands
I see in a lot of n 5 roms. People not getting lte. Not getting signal. Not getting mms. Most def can and is a real possibilty.
If im wrong on any of this. Please correct me.
